To all to/tom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERMAN Home, a

citizen oi the United States, residing at- Phiiadeiphia, in the county of Philadelphie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvemerits in Combined Punches and Sealers;

and I do hereby declare the following to be at full, clear, and exact description ofthe same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification. K7,

This invention reietes to punches adapted to fasten or sea a metai band, such as is used in Foaling cotton or other commodities reguiring considerable strength in the band.

Elie object of the present invention is to provide a. simple and efiicicnt machine that will perforete the bend and Wiii the same by c'ienching e metei stapie through the iioies made.

in the draWines;-,-

Figure is a side elevation of my device in its preferred tot-n1;

At

the cienching, oi? the staple;

sliding plate also carries a plurality of depressions 15 preferably curved to guide its forward end the sliding plate carries a down-turned lug 16 to limit thebackward movement of the plate and to bring the depressions 15 into registry With'the punch,- and it aiso carries a similar ing or stop 17 at its rear end, so positioned as to bring the slots 13 and 141- into registry. The base 10 is formed with sides 18 extent ing above the tower side of the bodyii and it carries a pair of beveled teeth 19 ct its torward end to facilitate the guiding oi the metal band into the slot 29 beiow the 20' of the body J Pivotaiiy secured in extensions 21 on each side of the lower member 2 is a iinkQ-Q pivotaiiy connected at its upper end to one of the circuiar heads 23 of the bifurcated end of the upper iever which carries an ec-' centricaiiy mounted iii 24 assing through the center ot a gui ing cyiinder 25 freely siidabie verticaiiy in the cyiindricai extension Integsai "with or carried by this cyiinder 25 is s punciifle provided with a pair of en e ing; edges or punch points adapted to register with the slots 13 in the sii "flats,

Tee stapie chamber d 1s ciosed by a cover piste 22 which be made in sections if desired and iieid in piece by screws or other fastenings 28., c

The c qiindricai portion 3 of the body 2 bored 30 to accommodate the guide inemfcer d5 and is siottedes dito receive time passing through the guide member 25 and extending into each head 23 the ripper tower end of the bore 50 is ciosed by a "stock 32 heid in piece by the screws which aiso hold-the iinks to the bosses or extensions 21. This block 352 is pierced by rectangniar Basic 34: corteeth 19 are held horizontal and the metalband slides-up the edge 87 into the slot 29,

through the holes 18 and 14:. The lever 1 is then raised to the position shown in Fig. 3 and slide 12 is ushed back until the depressions 15 are in ine with the plunger, at which time a staple will he pushed into the hole by the spring 7, then upon the second movement of the lever l thestaple will bdpushed through the perforated bale hands and the staple driven down into the depressions l5 and guided by them outwardly so as to clench the staple against the 'sides'ot the lower band, thereby sealin the same. 'l he device is then slid along the and and the proper number of rivets or seals allined, it being noted that alter clenching the lever l is not raised sufiiciently to permit astaple to enter the hole 34;.

What is claimed is: I

l. A metal band sealer consisting of a reciprocating punch and a plate having cutting holes cooperating with the punch and having guiding depressions also cooperating with said punch "for clenching a seal,

2. A metal band sealer having a body portion providing a reservoir for seals, a punch sliding in said body, a slotted plate having a plurality of slots and depressions, and means to hold said plate in contact with said body to bring either said slots or said depressions into registry with said punch.

3. In a metal band unch a body portion providing a reservoir or seals and extended to form a lever, a secoiid lever Ipivoted thereto, a punch slldable in said ody at right an les to said first mentioned lever and pivota ly connected to said second lever.

4. In a metal band sealer, apunch, a slotted plate havin a depression therein, and a in on each on of said plate for bringing eit er the slot or the depression into registry with said punch.

5.. In a metal band sealer, an elon ated body memher providing1 a reservoir or a plurality of seals and aving a relatively short portion extending at right angles to said reservoir portion, a punc adapted to slide in said short portion, a lever pivoted to said short portion, links connecting said punch and said lever, and a' reciprocating slide cooperating with said punch in one position to perforate a metal band and in another position to clench the same,

6. in a metal band sealer, a body portion, a punch slidably mounted in said body portion, a grooved lease member attached to said body portion, a reciprocating slide mounted in said groove and coiiperating with said punch in a plurality of positions, and means I at either end or" said slide to secure registry with said punchw 7,. In a reciprocating slide, an elongated body portion providing a reservoir for seals, a punch slidahly mounted in said hody portion, a lease inemher secured to said body portion and provided with a plurality of teeth tapered to a point at their lower trout ends, a slotted plate reciprocating between said base member and said body portion and provided with a plurality of slots and depressions, and means to secure registry of either said slots or said depressions with HERMAN ltOLLE.
